"Clap, clap, clap..."

Thunderous applause erupted.

Jiang Che received the homeroom teacher's approval; his self-introduction had truly impressed him.

"Go ahead, that's your seat, Jiang Che," Teacher Ma said with a warm smile.

Jiang Che took his seat, and his deskmate was a rather pretty girl.

Then, Teacher Ma asked Wang Defa to introduce himself again.

With Jiang Che as a successful example, Wang Defa's second self-introduction, though not as impressive as Jiang Che's, still met Teacher Ma's expectations.

"Hello everyone, my name is Wang Defa."

"Wang as in 'Wang Sicong's Wang', De as in 'Andy Lau's De', Fa as in 'Chow Yun-fat's Fa'."

"I dare to eat shit, I eat three pounds of shit every day..."

"......"

Class began.

The whole class sat upright, focused and attentive.

Teacher Ma stood at the podium and said, "The final exams are coming up soon, so let's consolidate our knowledge in the coming days."

"Of course, if I don't teach well, I hope it's the Education Bureau that punishes me, not you guys answering 'Makka Pakka' when asked about alpha and beta."

"This was supposed to be an English class, but since the English teacher had his tongue cut off by the principal yesterday and needs to rest at home for two days, I'll be substituting with Chinese."

"Next, we'll randomly test vocabulary, and then you can review on your own."

Jiang Che: "???"

Dude, are you serious?

English? Chinese?

You ghosts actually study?!

The Uncanny isn't scary, but the Uncanny with culture is terrifying?

Don't pick me, don't pick me, don't pick me...

Jiang Che frantically chanted in his mind.

As a poor student, the most feared part was the random testing.

"Niu Junyu."

Teacher Ma casually called on someone, then asked, "How do you say 'hello' in English?"

Niu Junyu: "Hello."

"Very good, next one, ***"

"One, two, three."

"Woof, spit, spit, spit..."

"Snap!"

Teacher Ma directly twisted off the arm of the student who couldn't answer.

"You can't even do this, what's the use of you?"

"Teacher, I was wrong..."

"Sit down and review properly."

"Mm-hmm."

Jiang Che and Wang Defa were dumbfounded.

This was escaping one disaster after another!

This school is too hard on students, isn't it?

With this kind of education, not getting into Harvard would be a shame.

However, based on Teacher Ma's questions just now, their level doesn't seem too high, which is a relief.

Although he's a poor student, he can handle simple English.

Just then, Teacher Ma adjusted his glasses, his gaze landing on Wang Defa.

Wang Defa: "..."

"The one who eats shit."

Wang Defa: "???"

"How do you say 'phenomenon' in English?"

Wang Defa: "Phenomenon."

"Statistics."

"Statistics."

Jiang Che: Damn?

Wang Defa: "ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ"

Damn, he's actually a top student!

A trace of malice flashed in Teacher Ma's eyes as he continued to ask, "Before which letters do you use 'a' and 'an'?"

Wang Defa sneered confidently and answered, "Use 'a' before words starting with a consonant letter or a silent vowel, and 'an' before words starting with a vowel letter a, e, i, o, u that have a vowel sound."

Jiang Che: Damn, damn...

The muscles on Teacher Ma's face twitched, blood vessels spreading.

But he suppressed his anger and said grimly, "Alright, you may sit down."

Then, Teacher Ma's gaze fell on Jiang Che.

Jiang Che: "(。ŏ_ŏ)"

"Student Jiang Che."

Jiang Che: "..."

With a full smile, Teacher Ma said, "You're so impressive, English surely won't stump you, right? Let me test you with something simple."

Not far away, Wang Defa cast a sympathetic glance.

Teacher Ma: "How do you say 'too hasty' in English?"

Jiang Che: "???"

"Don't know?" Teacher Ma's eyes gradually turned blood-red, blood vessels spreading across his face.

Xiaoman: "Don't count on me, I don't know either."

"......"

Jiang Che: "Fack... so?"

Classmates: "???"

Wang Defa facepalmed: It's over.

Just when all the classmates thought Jiang Che was about to be punished, Teacher Ma nodded and moved on to the next question.

Teacher Ma: "Translate 'A teacher for a day, a father for life.'"

Jiang Che: "One day is your teacher, day day is your father?"

Silence!

The class fell into a deathly silence.

Jiang Che was sweating profusely.

He used Chinglish.

He was gambling that Teacher Ma, as a Chinese teacher, wouldn't know English and didn't care for it either.

Otherwise, with how well Wang Defa answered, his reaction shouldn't have been like that.

At this moment, Xiaoman said, "Don't be afraid, even though I'm not in the zone, I can still handle this kind of stuff."

Jiang Che: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Xiaoman: "I was afraid you'd get cocky."

With Xiaoman backing him up, Jiang Che's courage immediately grew.

But since this was a task, directly killing Teacher Ma might lead to unforeseen consequences.

However, in for a penny, in for a pound...

Before Teacher Ma could speak, Jiang Che straightened his back and said.

"Teacher Ma."

"As a patriotic youth, I love Chinese, so it's reasonable for my English to be poor, right?"

"Hiss—"

The whole class gasped.

Someone started whispering.

"Twist his head off! Hee hee."

"Never seen such a brazen poor student!"

Wang Defa: "Bro, you're really brave!"

"Mm."

"Reasonable."

"Very reasonable."

Teacher Ma's response left the whole class dumbfounded.

Even the ghosts were puzzled.

This, reasonable?

How the hell is this reasonable?

Jiang Che smiled.

Indeed, surviving in the Mystic World requires brains.

Understanding Teacher Ma's thoughts, any random test becomes simple.

Next.

There was a thirty-minute self-study session.

Faced with the "heavenly book," Jiang Che really couldn't focus.

Thinking about the final exam in five days, Jiang Che felt a headache.

This task seems more suited for top students.

"Ring, ring, ring..."

The dismissal bell rang.

After Teacher Ma left, the students scattered.

Just then, the task prompt sounded in the ears of all challengers.

"Due to limited school conditions, the dormitory has always been co-ed, but for some reason, since last month, students have been dying every night."

"As a boarding student, be careful at night."

Jiang Che and Wang Defa exchanged glances, seeing shock on each other's faces.

Wang Defa swallowed: "Bro, did you hear that?"

Jiang Che nodded, looking serious.

Wang Defa: "I heard you completed Nightmare Mode, though I find it hard to believe, I hope we can share a dorm, so we can look out for each other."

"?"

Jiang Che waved his hand, "Don't joke, didn't you hear it's co-ed? Who wants to share a room with you?"

"[・_・?]"

Wang Defa: "Bro, you still care about that stuff?"

"People are dying!"

"Students die every night in the dorm!"

Jiang Che looked shocked: "What? Did the prompt mention that?"

Wang Defa: "What the..."

"(╯°Д°)╯︵ ┻━┻"

"Ah!!!"
